Pietta doesn't make a walker Jim, but if they did the markings on it could be seen from space.That's a shame.
Everybody knows a Pietta Walker is the only one strong enough for .45-70.
Its got nothing to do with lawyers or the law because Uberti builds the exact same revolver but puts the warning under the loading lever. Pietta could do the same. Why they don't, I don't know.
Uberti could be less cautious or may have not faced the same litigation. Not every gun maker puts as much effort behind their warnings and safety features.
You are the one baiting me though... And honestly i really have no idea what you're talking about. The great thing about this forum is that you can quote people, please do! So i can understand why you think that.Fellows, the OP is only interested in baiting you. His opinion is the only one that matters and if you don't agree with him he will is insulted.
I probably have socks older than he/she is.

A good compromise would to put everything but the "black powder only" marking under the barrel, as well as make the warning smaller but still visible.You have to look at all the other manufacturers of black powder guns. Seems to me at least a lot of them included their 'warnings' visible on their barrels including Palmetto, ASP, Lyman (Investment Arms) Pedersoli to name a few. The only manufacturers that haven't done that and placed them under the loading lever was Uberti and I think ASM placed them under the loading lever where they were not visible.
Yep i understand that, don't get it though. Nothing wrong with having a gun look more historically accurate when its a copy of a historical gun... It isn't a Ruger or a Glock, guess i'll try another forum.Well considering the response on this thread alone Jmar, I don't think you're going to have too much of an email campaign to flood Pietta with. Most people don't care and they others don't mind the markings.
